He excelled and turned a number of heads with his skill set while producing 12.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists on 58.8 percent shooting from the floor. He remains a HM target still in the state of North Carolina attending Broughton High in the heart of Raleigh. </p>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Four New Faces in the Top 10</h3>   <p>There's a new "power" forming around the Carolinas as Moravian Prep (OTE), The Burlington School (NCISAA), Christ School (EYBL Scholastic) and Wesleyan Christian Academy (NCISAA) are building their own program with talent across the board! Each have a new face in the latest Top 10 rankings update.</p>   <p><strong>#4 [player_tooltip player_id='2314644' first='K'majay' last='Jenkins'] - Moravian Prep / YNG Dreamerz Overtime Elite</strong></p>   <p><strong>#6 [player_tooltip player_id='2299468' first='Geren' last='Holmes'] - The Burlington School</strong></p>   <p><strong>#8 [player_tooltip player_id='2382809' first='Trevor' last='Manhertz'] - Christ School</strong></p>   <p><strong>#9 [player_tooltip player_id='1280937' first='Tyson' last='Thompson'] - Wesleyan Christian Academy</strong></p>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Class Movers</h3>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2268825' first='Julian' last='Lowe'] (The Burlington School)</h4>   <p>Lowe moves from Jordan High to The Burlington School where he should bolster their perimeter attack and toughness defensively as he gets into the swing of their style of play; he's got the potential to be a strong piece for them given his shooting prowess</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1280937' first='Tyson' last='Thompson'] (Wesleyan Christian Academy)</h4>   <p>Thompson moves from Winston-Salem Christian to Wesleyan Christian Academy, where he should fill a need in the frontcourt given his ability to operate in the painted area and beyond; he should really complement their backcourt very well with his physicality and length</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2382809' first='Trevor' last='Manhertz'] (Christ School)</h4>   <p>Manhertz moves from Green Level on the NCHSAA stage into the NCISAA/EYBL Scholastic realm as he joins the defending 4A State Champions; he's quickly growing into a hot commodity in the state given his 3-and-D potential at 6-foot-7</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2447081' first='Dylan' last='Twitty'] (Christ School)</h4>   <p>Twitty is another Christ School acquisition who should see his stock rise as more eyes get on him; he's a forward prospect who plays with a ton of energy on both ends in the painted area; look for DI/DII programs to lock in on him</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2299468' first='Geren' last='Holmes'] (The Burlington School)</h4>   <p>Holmes has seen his stock rise a ton since joining the TBS rotation; he's a versatile wing who can fill it up from deep and attack the rim with reckless abandon; look for his stock to really grow in 2025-26</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1608357' first='Tyzhir' last='Dyer'] (Concord Academy)</h4>   <p>Dyer is one of a few new faces in the Concord Academy backcourt, though the lone one in the 2027 class; he's a fast-starter who really gets after it on defense and should push the Eagles further towards their quest for a state championship given his penchant for making things happen on the hardwood</p>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Who Are the Biggest Stock Risers?</h3>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Inside the Top 100: [player_tooltip player_id='2473838' first='Nixon' last='Wright'] - East Mecklenburg</h4>   <p>Wright was probably the biggest stock riser of the summer, seeing his position rise from No. 143 into the No. 32 spot in the latest rankings update for the 2027 class. He had himself a productive spring/summer with [program_tooltip program_id='2234929' first='1' last='of 1 Elite'], turning heads with his ability to play above the rim on both ends of the floor. He's a prospect for DI and DII programs to get on their radar given his penchant for making things happen on the fly with his strong frame and athleticism. </p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Outside the Top 100: [player_tooltip player_id='2391283' first='Caden' last='Bregu'] - Combine Academy</h4>   <p>Bregu has been a force to be reckoned with this spring/summer in the [program_tooltip program_id='2078543' first='Team' last='Stacked'] backcourt; he's taken a more concerted effort to be a facilitator at the floor general spot and fill up the stat sheet in a variety of ways; DII/DIII programs in the region would be wise to get the 6-foot-1 point guard on their radar</p>   <p></p>
